Description

For most of a century, only African American students attended school in Lakeland. In 1956, two years after the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that segregated schools were unconstitutional, the Prince George’s County Board of Education enacted a plan to impede the integration of schools. The first white students did not attend school in Lakeland Elementary School until the late 1960s. They were few in number. Nevertheless, desegregation progressed intermittently until court-ordered programs began in 1973. Pictured in the photograph is the Lakeland Elementary School’s the first grade class with their teacher Miss Davis. The photograph was taken during the 1966 –1967 school year.
